This book is about the new relationship between two centuries-old companions, the farmer and the sun. This new relationship is called Agrivoltaic and refers to the growing of crops under the construction of solar panels that are producing electrical power. The farmer in the story is Tom Carlton, who is the heir to a 150-year-old family farm.

After the death of his father and receiving his master's degree as an electrical engineer, he came to the conclusion that his family's 150-year-old colonial farm, with its farmstand, could not continue supporting them.

The world has changed to computerized business and a new method requires new regional thinking.

His education convinced him that they needed a pasteurized partnership with the sun. The solution is an Agrivoltaic, solar-powered farm, partly run by producing power without carbonizing the atmosphere and growing better vegetables using less water from the earth.

After selling his existing crops, Tom Carlton feels he must have an additional source of electrical power to provide for his farm equipment, his home, and his vehicles. If he can achieve this, perhaps it will provide additional income. He may also experiment with the new sand batteries they are developing in Europe.

Tom's new enterprise will also point its attention to farmers in and around Cliffside. It will be able to provide immediate power to their farms, homes, and equipment. If their solar array is large enough to provide additional income at the end of the year, it will ensure their financial future.

This is not science fiction; it is today's worldwide reality. The real question is: Are you a farmer, big or small, and do you have the courage to join those who have invested in Agrivoltaic?
